Chapter 176: The Origin of the Confession and the Calligraphy of the Female Yellow
It turned out that at this time, everyone used a brush to write. The brush is dipped in ink, written on the paper, if there is a mistake, there is nothing to be done, the particular one starts to change the paper again, but the cost of restarting is too high, and it takes time, most of the time it can only be less particular, or draw a circle, or smear it into a black ball, and then continue to write it later......
Of course, there is also a way to alter it. This is the female Huang Zhi calligraphy.
The so-called orpimental calligraphy is to use a mineral similar to a pigment to apply to the wrong place, and then after the top is dry, it can be rewritten, called "a long time to disappear, still not to come off".
Because the writing paper at that time was yellow, and the mineral was also yellow on the paper, this method of alteration was called orpimentary calligraphy. Later, people gradually called the act of indiscriminately distorting the text and commenting on it as "false words".
That's where it came from.
However, this method has limitations, one is that it is easy to stain the writing, although there are revisions, it is not beautiful; The second is that this substance is poisonous, and long-term exposure is not good for the body.
Therefore, it is not admired. If you can't use it, you don't need it.
In this way, even the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephews" and other authentic works that have survived the world also have a large number of smears and black masses, and some places are inevitably like "graffiti" works......
Of course, these works are flawed.
At this moment, Wu Zhi heard everyone laugh at the pencil as a wishful pen, so he simply took over the conversation and said: "That's right, this is a wishful pen, if you don't believe it, I will show it to you on the spot." ”
As he spoke, he looked around and found his target.
Only the audience shouted: "Don't believe, don't believe, demonstrate, demonstrate!" ”
Wu Zhi stuffed the pencil into the pencil sharpener and sharpened it, and walked to a table at his feet, but this table was not like other tables in the courtyard tonight, which were two pieces next to each other, but it was still like daytime, leaning alone on the edge of the courtyard in a windless place, four directions, only four people were sitting.
Two of the young men Wu Zhi did not know.
The other two, one is the dantman, and the other is the painter Zhang Zeduan, whom I met yesterday.
Unexpectedly, they actually came tonight, the dantin was sipping hot tea, and Zhang Zeduan had an easel in front of him, painting in the white and bright snowy night.
When Wu Zhi looked at it, he painted the scenes from the dinner. All the characters are lifelike in the painting, as recorded in real scenes.
This legendary painter is really remarkable.
I saw that Zhang Zeduan was wearing a warm jacket outside his ragged clothes, and a small charcoal brazier was burning at his feet, and half of the hot tea on the table was poured out, but half of the crabs in the pot were not moving, and it seemed that he was only painting but had no intention of having dinner......
What a leisurely ambition.
Wu straightened his hand and said, "Mr. Painter, can I borrow your paintings." ”
Zhang Zeduan smiled: "What a borrowing." ”
Wu Zhidao: "That's how to borrow the method." ”
As he spoke, regardless of whether Zhang Zeduan agreed or not, he had already drawn two beautiful arcs of sharpened pencils, leaving a cross in the blank space that should have been used to leave his name on Zhang Zeduan's paintings.
"What are you doing?" The playboy was angry and took the case.
"Yes, why did you defile my paintings?" Zhang Zeduan's face also changed, and he trembled with anger.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Don't worry. I'm just going to take your drawings and do an experiment. And please look at my wishful pen! ”
As he spoke, he turned the tip of the pen around, turned the end of the red eraser on the pencil upside down, and pasted it on the drawing paper, pressing the drawing board with one hand and carefully following one direction with the other.
Everyone couldn't hold it anymore, so they all got up and gathered around to look at the drawing paper. Sure enough, although there are still some traces left on the drawing paper, but there is no trace of the previous X word, as Wu Zhi said, it can be written, and it can also be erased, which is convenient, fast and fast, really like a wishful pen.
"I didn't expect such a slender thing to have such a magical ......" Everyone was wondering and exclaiming, but they didn't expect Zhang Zeduan himself to laugh and applaud, exclaiming:
"It's wonderful, wonderful!"
Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Please forgive Mr. Zhang." ”
Zhang Zeduan asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Wu Zhi raised his hand again and said: "First, when the distinguished guests came, they did not greet each other, and they did not prepare a good meal, put a good water and wine, which is considered to be a poor hospitality, and the second is to make decisions without the consent of Mr., and add two ......strokes to the painting without the consent of Mr."
Zhang Zeduan waved his hand and smiled: "Hey, I haven't really defiled my paintings, what a crime." I am a lover of painting, and there are so many strange things here, sir, that it is hospitable to be able to paint three or two paintings here in peace, and not drive me away......"
"Joke and laugh, please feel comfortable, sir."
Wu Zhi arched his hand at the playboy again, and then turned around.
The group took the pencil from the child and discussed its benefits while helping to sharpen it with a pencil sharpener.
But he saw that the Taoist stood up, but he sat down in a panic and spoke: "I have heard that in addition to the calligraphy of the female Huang Zhi, there is also another method in this dynasty, which is like the pencil in the hand of Wu Da just now. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all curious, and even the painter Zhang Zeduan, who was sitting in the corner to avoid the wind, immediately projected his attention.
"Mr. Iron, really? Is there really another way to repair the book as you wish? ”
"Yes. That's it. But he listened to Tie Fei Taoist continued: "According to legend, during the reign of Renzong of this dynasty, the general Di Qing once conquered the west and beat the werewolves of the Western Liao to surrender. The wolf lord sent someone to present a book table, and there was a tribute present, called the Pearl Flag. Then the pearl flag that was sent for the first time was a fake flag, which only coaxed Di Qing to retreat. ”
"......" Everyone was quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard, attracted by the past events of this dynasty told by the iron doorman.
"The fake flag was sent back to the court, which caused the anger of the court. So the marshal led the troops again and defeated the werewolves twice. The wolf lord was helpless, knowing that if he didn't give up the true flag, the Great Song Dynasty would not retreat. So in this way, the true flag arrived in the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Let's say that the wolf lord sent someone to send the real flag, but Di Ye refused to believe him this time, and the army had to check the flag first. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what kind of treasure this pearl flag is? ”
"It turns out that this flag is the treasure of the Western Liao country, there are six peerless pearls sewn on the flag, one of the six pearls is called 'Dingfeng Pearl', if there is a strong wind, the wind can be stopped; one is called 'Fire Bead', if it encounters a fierce fire, it is not afraid of fire; one is called 'Water Bead', even if it is ten thousand waves, it will retreat when it sees the pearl; one is called 'Dust Bead', if there is this pearl at home, the house is spotless; one is called 'Night Pearl', in the dark place at night, the pearl is as bright as fire......"
